Taipei, Taiwan

USA or USB

Taipei City is home to 2,607,428 people, while the metropolitan area has a population of 6,776,264 people. Due to Taipei’s geography and location in the Taipei Basin as well as differing times of economic development of its districts, Taipei’s population is not evenly distributed.

Garbage Recycling

Taipei City is also famous for its effort in garbage recycling, which has become such a good international precedent that other countries have sent teams to study the recycling system. After the Environmental Protection Administration (EPA) established a program in 1998 combining the efforts of communities, a financial resource named the Recycling Fund was made available to recycling companies and waste collectors. Manufacturers, vendors and importers of recyclable waste pay fees to the Fund, which uses the money to set firm prices for recyclables and subsidize local recycling efforts. Between 1998 and 2008, the recycling rate increased from 6 percent to 32 percent. This improvement enabled the government of Taipei to demonstrate its recycling system to the world at the Shanghai World Expo 2010.
